Mama....

Here's the card that I promised you yesterday..I hope that you think that it is as pretty as I do! Isn't that the most gorgeous pram?!!! Who has a pram like that these days?! My Mum had a Silver Cross pram for 3 of us (she wore out 4 sets of tyres on it!!) very similar to this one, she sold it, then fell pregnant with my youngest brother! Bummer! (not my brother!..selling the pram! Love you Nick!)
Anyway back to the card.. I cut the pram from silver mirri & pink Bazzil. I cut off the wheels and handle from the pink pram then adhered it to the silver pram. I added detail with a dressmakers wheel, then added silver pearls to the wheels & hood. I also cut a tiny oval and added a gem heart to it to finish off the pram. The papers I used are from Papermania. I cut a square doiley as a mount for the scalloped oval onto which I adhered the pram. Before fixing the panel to the card I threaded pink voile ribbon through 2 punched holes in the oval and fixed it behind the panel. The whole panel was adhered to the card with foam tape.. I cut another scalloped oval for the stop and adhered the sentiment 'Mama' to it. I finished the oval with a bow, and added flowers to the large oval holding the pram. I added pearls to the doiley and ribbons to finish.
